Key Driver
Operational benefits associated with scraped surface heat exchangers are the key factor driving the growth of the market. There are several operational advantages to using a face-faced heat exchanger compared to a conventional heat exchanger. A shaved surface heat exchanger can transfer more heat than a conventional heat exchanger. Scraped surface heat exchangers intensively mix liquids, increasing the amount of liquid in direct contact with equipment. A larger volume improves the heat transfer rate and reduces the required surface area.
When compared with conventional heat exchangers, scraped surface heat exchangers produce thicker, stickier, and more viscous materials, which contain particulate matter and require a certain degree of crystallization. Scraped surface heat exchangers can also be used in applications where fouling reduces heat transfer rates or when viscous fluids have low heat transfer rates. Thus, the operational benefits associated with scraped surface heat exchangers are driving the global market in focus during the forecast period.
Significant Trend
Technological advances in the design of heat exchangers are the primary trend in the global SSHE market growth. Heat exchangers are designed to ensure maximum efficiency while exchanging heat with minimal energy loss. For this reason, several market players are investing in the potential development of geothermal resources and are active in the field of geothermal energy conversion. For this reason, mid-to-low temperature geothermal resources have been considered for several years. A key component of a geothermal power plant (based on the ORC cycle) is therefore the heat exchanger.
Several types of heat exchangers are required for the operation of an ORC plant. For instance, in the recovery heat exchangers that are used in plants, the operating fluid evaporates. Therefore, several technological advances in the design of heat exchangers are expected to positively influence the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Major Challenge
The presence of manufacturers in APAC that offer low-cost products is a major challenge to the growth of the global SSHE market. Several industries in APAC are investing in energy-efficient machinery and solutions. Due to the cost-sensitive nature of end-users, suppliers of faced heat exchangers are looking to establish relationships with suppliers of sub-components at competitive prices. Several APAC vendors offering face-faced heat exchangers have launched products in the US and Europe. With cheap labor and abundant resources available, APAC suppliers are now able to offer cost-effective scraped surface heat exchangers.
Moreover, China and Japan are also major producers of face-faced heat exchangers. Hence, several vendors in the Americas and Europe have not been able to consolidate their presence in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, which are growing markets. The global vendors must adopt horizontal integration through M and A to grow in these markets. However, the presence of manufacturers in APAC that offer low-cost products is a challenge to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.

The reciprocating tubular segment will contribute a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period. In this segment, the key advantages are high thermal efficiency, low level of fouling, low-pressure drop, and removable cover to ensure ease of operation and maintenance. Similarly, the key applications of reciprocating tubular scraped surface heat exchangers such as the dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, and condensed milk, convenience food such as eggs, mashed potatoes, and mayonnaise, cosmetics such as lotions, creams, and gels, and confectionaries such as chocolates, pastes, syrups, and margarine. Thus, reciprocating tubular is contributing towards the growth of the global SSHE market during the forecast period.

The reciprocating tubular segment was valued at USD 114.61 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. A reciprocating tubular scraped heat exchanger consists of three main parts, including a tube bundle, a separation chamber, and a cylinder. A scraped piston heat exchanger is a tube bundle heat exchanger with a scraper bar on the inner tube. The scraper system in the heat exchanger consists of stainless steel rods into which scraper elements are inserted. The reciprocating motion of these scrapers keeps the heat transfer coefficient high and reduces downtime. The wiping action introduces additional turbulence that improves product transfer to and from the heat exchanger surfaces. Improved movement increases the heat transfer rate. Such factors will increase segment growth during the forecast period.
Based on end-user, the market has been segmented into processed food, bakery, dairy, fats and oils, and others. The processed food segment was the largest revenue-contributing segment in 2022, and it is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. Processed foods include canned and frozen fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, quick service restaurants (QSR), and fine dining. Abrasive surface food exchangers play an important role in the production of processed foods. They are used to heat, cool, crystallize, pasteurize, and evaporate food to make it suitable for consumption. All these factors fuel the growth of the global scraped surface heat exchangers market during the forecast period.
Europe is estimated to contribute 33% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.
